Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of energy

If LED light source is used in lighting instrument, then energy efficiency and longevity are improved, but color rendering index deteriorates due to green or red color bias

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveenergy efficiencyVSAvoidcolor rendering index
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The lighting instrument is divided into multiple independent light source assemblies: a main light source assembly (first LED chip) and at least one auxiliary light source assembly (second LED chip with different wavelength). This segmentation allows each assembly to contribute different spectral components, enabling the system to achieve both energy efficiency and improved color rendering index by combining their outputs.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent combines multiple LED chips with different wavelength characteristics (e.g., blue LED with yellow phosphor, red LED, green LED) to create a composite light source system. This composite approach merges the spectral advantages of different LED types to produce a balanced spectrum that maintains high energy efficiency while correcting color bias and improving color rendering index.

Solution Approach 1:

The lighting instrument is divided into multiple independent light source assemblies: a main light source assembly (first LED chip) and at least one auxiliary light source assembly (second LED chip with different wavelength). This segmentation allows each assembly to contribute different spectral components, enabling the system to achieve both energy efficiency and improved color rendering index by combining their outputs.

Solution Approach 2:

The patent adjusts the wavelength parameters of the LED chips by selecting different chip types (blue, red, green LEDs) and configuring their proportions. By changing the spectral parameters of the light sources and their relative intensities, the system corrects color bias and achieves accurate color reproduction while maintaining simple device structure.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple LED light source assemblies with different wavelength characteristics into a single integrated lighting instrument. The main light source assembly and auxiliary light source assemblies are combined in one device, allowing them to work together to produce a balanced spectrum with high color rendering index while maintaining a unified and manageable device structure.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The auxiliary light source assembly serves multiple functions: it compensates for color bias, improves color rendering index, and enables accurate color reproduction. By making the auxiliary assembly multi-functional, the patent reduces the need for additional separate components, thereby improving color rendering without proportionally increasing device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
